Bill O'Reilly here. Tuesday, August 31st, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. The United States exits Afghanistan. Hurricane Ida causing all kinds of chaos in the eastern part of the USA. McDonald's may eliminate indoor dining to slow down COVID. U.S. citizens removed from Europe's so-called safe travel list. Also ahead, if you voted for Joe Biden, do you regret it? But first, after two decades, $1 trillion, approximately 2,500 American service members dead, the war in Afghanistan is over. The conflict spanned two generations of fighters. As of this year, nearly 25% of America's entire population was born after the September 11th terror attacks that triggered the Afghan invasion. President Biden will

address the nation this afternoon. We will analyze that tomorrow. Hurricane Idol losing steam as it heads inland. The tropical storm now making its way through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and north before making a lot of mess in the northeast. Despite being ranked the strongest hurricane on record to hit the Bayou Country, the actual worst storm in the Gulf occurred in 1900. The great Galveston Hurricane claimed the lives of 10,000 within six hours. McDonald's and other national restaurant chains considering a ban on indoor dining to slow the spread of the Delta variant. The move would apply to states with a high rate of COVID. The sale of fast food up 25% since the virus hit last year. Data from the National Restaurant

Association says Americans still feel more comfortable purchasing food from drive-in windows than going inside. McDonald's sells three billion burgers each year. That's $5,000 every minute of every day. The European Union removing Americans from the safe travel list, making it harder for us to visit the EU this fall. Travelers must produce a valid reason for going to Europe, including business meetings, visiting relatives, that kind of thing. However, more Americans did vacation abroad this summer. Top spots include Caribbean, United Kingdom, which left the EU in January 2020 and Canada. But not Hawaii. The island's bringing back the shutdown, and that will shut down business. In a moment, voting for Joe Biden, was that a wise decision? Let's face it,

the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets, and meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

update message of the day. Joe Biden voters. What say you? As you may know, Mr. Biden received 81 million-plus votes last November. And since he's been in office, things have not gone well. Afghanistan, the latest debacle. Right now, the polling average on real clear politics says the president's job approval stands at 47%, about 48% disapproved. And that's a big drop since May. Now, in the summer of 2020 last year, I was on the beach with two friends, a liberal couple. And I was giving them some jazz

about voting for old Joe. They were adamant because they despised Donald Trump. They hated everything about the former president. I told my friends the following that Mr. Biden was essentially a weak man. That is a subjective opinion, but I have seen him in operation now for four decades. I believe he's weak. I said to them, look out for your wallet. He's going to tax anyone with assets to death. And Mr. Biden is indeed trying to do that. then I said, do you really want a woke country? Do you really want no due process? Do you really want cancel culture? Because Joe Biden is not going to fight against any of those things. And then there is global warming. When I said global warming, their heads went up because they fervently believe that

climate change is coming to get them. Now, Mr. Biden says he believes that too. and there is nothing wrong with that. The planet is getting warmer. But to essentially wreck an economy by raising all kinds of new regulations and taxes in a theoretical fight against global warming is destructive. If the technology is there, yes, you use it. But on a guess, on windmills, no. So I always keep these discussions with friends civil.

I use a lot of humor in them, but I made my point that if they voted for Joe Biden and he won the presidency, there was trouble ahead. And after eight months of President Biden, I am proved correct. But I did not know back on that beach in the summer of 2020 how bad. bad Joe Biden would do his job. We have two colossal humanitarian disasters on our hands, the southern border where migrants are being brutalized by cartels in Mexico every single day, and of course, Afghanistan. We have rising crime in major cities. We have rising inflation. We have absolute chaos in many areas of this government, and a president who does not seem to have one solution to any problem.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 133 years ago today, the body of prostitute Marianne Nichols was discovered in London's White Chapel District. She had been slashed, mutilated, nearly decapitated. Mary Ann was the first confirmed victim of a killer dubbed by British newspapers Jack the Ripper. Here's the wrap on Jack. In Victorian England, London's East End was above.

slum occupied by more than a million of the city's poorest residents. Many women resorted to prostitution to earn money. In 1888, there were about 1,000 prostitutes working in Whitechapel alone. By the way, I attended Queen Mary College close to White Chapel. That summer, way back then, a maniac began targeting women in the neighborhood. On September 8th,000, 8th. The killer claimed his second victim, Annie Chapman, and on September 30th, two more females were murdered and carved up on the same night. London's Scotland Yard believed the pattern was the work of a serial killer. The murderer hired the prostitues, lured them to seclusion, then sliced them up. On November 7th, after a month of silence, Jack took his fifth and final victim,

Irish-born Mary Kelly. Of all his victims, Ms. Kelly was the most mutilated. The Times of London labeled the killings the autumn of blood. As quickly as the murder spree began, the Ripper then went silent. Four years later, in 1992, with no leads at all, and no homicides recorded since that November in 1888, Jack the Ripper's file was formally closed, never to be opened again. And here's something else you might not know. Without modern technology like DNA forensics or even fingerprints, hundreds of names have been put forward as possible suspects. The list includes members of the British royal family.

Others believe the murders to be the work of a satanic cult. But the true identity of Jack the Ripper will like, never be known, but his name lives in infamy. Back after this.
